More than 14 thousand churches will be used at the meeting of Jesus Christ on the night of January 7. The most mass events will be held in Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk and Dnepropetrovsk regions. These regions are considered the most conservative and believers. The whole event will be held under the protection of law enforcement agencies.
